    What do you call it when Western media groups focus ONLY on negative/horrific female circumcision stories amidst the maelstrom of positive/celebratory stories of other women? Oh! Propaganda! From our Feb. rally at WHO. We are not mutilated. See us and hear us!

    Do people who use the term “genital mutilation” to describe African female genital procedures ALSO include sex change surgeries/female genital surgeries that occur in Western society? If not, why is the one done in Africa signaled out as mutilation?

    This guy says to kill blacks. Not rival gang members but anyone that’s black. Yet we aren’t calling ICE or demanding the wall. What’s up with the hate from some in the Latinx community? In 2019 everyone that show Anti-Black sentiments are getting called out.

    WESTERN WOMEN: “Getting circumcised is based in male standards of beauty. It’s done to fulfill male sexual fantasies. African women are sex objects.” WESTERN DOCTORS:

    WESTERN WOMEN: “African Women are just getting circumcised and getting their daughters circumcised to please MEN. This should END! This is misogyny!” ALSO WESTERN WOMEN:

    To people asking about the benefits of female circumcision: Female circ is a COSMETIC change and cosmetic surgeries don’t have to have medical benefits. What’s the medical benefit of having breast implants stretching toward heaven? Nothing. So we don’t have to prove anything.

    Pics from this year’s Female Circumcision Pride Week planning. We’re preparing for next year’s launch. Currently, laws in places like Kenya, Gambia, Nigeria prohibit adult women from getting circumcised. We will show the world that African women reserve the right to choice.

    Anti-female circumcision people claim that the pro-female circumcision side has male support because of misogyny. Problem with that logic is the anti-female circ side has men helping them to tell women what to do with their bodies. Seems more misogynistic from over here. 🙄

    These are some of the comments from the petition that started years ago to end Western genital plastic surgeries done on girls. But THESE days she isn’t demonizing plastic surgeons/Western parents as much as she is non-white parents who circumcise their daughters.🤔

    So apparently started a petition to stop genital plastic surgeries performed on young Western girls which is a form of FGM. But this petition was closed with only 14,000 supporters. Why is that? Minors are still cut by plastic surgeons

    why aren’t you all reporting about this? If this were about female circumcision you all would’ve jumped the chance. Boys harmed from traditional male circumcision but there’s silence from the international community. Why?

    More anti-FGM lies. The 10 year old girl Mariatu (Marie) who allegedly bled to death after her circumcision was actually fine a week after her procedure but started vomiting for reasons unknown and died. Not bleeding to death. No “cutter” is on the run.🙄

    A 12 year old girl in Egypt just contacted us to let us know that she is preparing for her circumcision and had a list of questions. Girls should be 18 before undergoing any circumcision procedure but what’s going on? This supposed Egyptian ban isn’t working? 🙄 So many lies.

    Men are not forcing women to get circumcised. Men are not forcing women to get circumcised. Men are not forcing women to get circumcised. Men are not forcing women to get circumcised. Please copy one of these and paste into an argument. Too many false narratives out here 😂

    Yes I agree that their lack of distinction based on autonomy is misguided, and their distinction based entirely on sex or gender is unfounded and unsupportable. That is why I argue for an autonomy based ethical framework

    Since the Westerners who criticize female circumcision can’t answer to us why WHITE mothers are also making their young daughters get vagina surgeries in Britain, America and Australia, during next year’s trip, we will show this article to African women.

    If you’re African/descendant of Africans and you’re disgusted by female circumcision but not equally as disgusted by male circumcision, breast implants, butt lifts, face lifts, clit piercings, genital plastic surgeries, congrats! You have been brainwashed! ALL of them have risks.

    No disrespect to Ms. Nur, but the original post was about an anti-FGM activist who is trying to END female circumcision, she and the rest of anti-FGM activists are not pushing consent or bodily autonomy or choice. They want to END it. And what about this?

    this is biased education. Many women/girls are NOT harmed by female circumcision. Many are healthy and have no birth complications. EVERY surgical procedure has harm/risks, but young girls should be allowed to choose as adults. You’re using scare tactics.

    you’re upset about female circumcision deaths which are FEWER than male circumcision deaths? You do know African boys get circumcised “in the bush” and DIE in larger quantities, right? So what we wanna know is, why did you circumcise your son?
